tag game: author vs character

thank you @sakugraphia for the tag omg!!! and i am so sorry for how late this is omg!!!! it's been sitting in my drafts for literally ever and I just realized I never shared it!!

i chose asiya from my current project (which i officially kind of have narrowed titles down for as i near the end of the first draft-- which is crazy to say!!!!) i wanted to have fun with this and it actually took me longer than i expected still-- to highlight specific things i wanted to contrast in comparison to myself!

Rules: Make a Venn diagram graphic that shows what you and your character have in common and where you differ. You can use this Canva template. (I think I traced this tag game back to @gaslightwestern ; pls let me know if there's anyone else I should credit, thank you!!!)

tagging: @aadhube @galacticgirlinterludes @ctrl-4rt-delete and open tag for everyone who would like to participate !!! <33333

Once we return to Kharlore, I know he'll stop talking to me. He'll be brooding and brutish again, unapproachable and untouchable— like the skittish, moody dog he is. But for now, he's mine.

Fossil fuel company wants to expand gas pipeline in Northeast

The proposal from Enbridge would involve replacing existing pipes with larger ones, adding some secondary pipes and expanding compressor sta

Excerpt from this story from WBUR:

At a time when many states in the Northeast are actively trying to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels to help fight climate change, the company that owns a major natural gas pipeline in the region wants to expand the system and bring in more fracked gas.

Dubbed “Project Maple,” the proposal from Enbridge — a large Canadian energy company with fossil fuel infrastructure throughout the U.S. — would involve substantial upgrades on the Algonquin Gas Transmission line. This pipeline runs from northern New Jersey through parts of New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and into Massachusetts, where it feeds into the Weymouth Natural Gas Compressor Station and then connects to another pipeline north of Boston.

Details about the proposed project remain vague, but according to documents from Enbridge, the upgrades would include replacing existing underground pipes with larger ones, running secondary pipe lines alongside existing ones and expanding some compressor stations along the route.

By expanding gas capacity on the pipeline, Enbridge says the project will help stabilize gas prices, increase electric reliability and “[support] New England’s continued journey to Net Zero” by displacing oil use in the region on cold days.

Project Maple is “designed to expand Algonquin in a smart, targeted manner to meet the region’s growing needs for reliable access to natural gas,” Max Bergeron, an Enbridge spokesman, wrote in an email.

But for environmentalists, building new gas infrastructure is unnecessary and antithetical to the stated carbon reduction goals of many states in the region.
